I love big hook crochet! Everything gets done so much quicker. You can make a giant rug in a just a few days, and a bag in a day. Well, my friend Dedri happens to feel the same way, and she even wrote a book about it! And what a book!
Big Hook Rag Crochet starts out with a very sweet introductions, goes on to present 25 fabulous patterns by 15 designers, and finishes up with a wonderful section which explains various methods of making rag yarn, and a thorough how-to of most of the sts used in the book.
As you may have figured out, I adore this book.
